The Sunday Standard Pauper tournament returned to Hi-Gear in Marymart Mall as the store can now give out booster pack prizes to the top finishers. I made the announcement one week ahead, and about ten players gathered to battle, a few will be their first time.

That meant four rounds of gameplay.

Team Carbo showed up with five participants, one of them a young apprentice who is a brother of one of their friends. Despite his age, I think he was playing a solid Blue Red Prowess deck, a tier one deck in the format. I gladly gave him some of the card freebies so he could practice building decks from a limited resource aspect.

Anyhow, I witnessed intense and back-and-forth matchups between players and it looked less of a beginners’ tournament as several awesome plays and good ol’ top decks were made. At the end of four rounds, here are the Top 3 finishers:

1st, Arthur (Mardu Allies)
2nd, Martin (Blue Red Prowess)
3rd, Allen (Mono Red)

Here are some of the pics I took during the tournament.

 

Big thanks to Hi-Gear for sponsoring the venue, and see you at the next Standard Pauper tournament on February 21st.

Until the next post.
